In September of last year, NASA announced the $6.8 billion Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) contract -- a contract to build the spacecraft necessary to shuttle astronauts to and from the International Space Station -- would be split between Boeing and SpaceX.

The Sierra Nevada Corporation, which continues to work on a variety of other missions for NASA, quickly filed a complaint alleging there were "serious questions and inconsistencies" about the manner in which the contract was written and awarded.
